Knob & Tube Replacement in Westford
Electricians Serving Massachusetts, Southern NH & Southern ME
Knob and tube electrical systems date back to the late 1800s. Because they are older wiring systems, knob and tube circuits are physically unable to conduct the power necessary to run an average home’s fixtures and appliances. Is your your home electrical system safe and up to date? Ryan Gath Electric provides knob and tube replacement wiring for local Massachusetts homeowners.
What is the Risk?
Knob and tube systems were implemented a time long before KitchenAid mixers, central air conditioning units, jacuzzies, or even washers and dryers were installed. Older households with knob and tube electrical systems run the risk of not only frequent power outages, but of serious electrical damage.

Why Must Knob and Tube Systems Be Replaced?
Simply stated, knob and tube electrical systems are a liability. Here’s why:
Often denied homeowners insurance coverage
No safety grounding conductor
Low circuit capacity
Risk of overfusing
Cloth and rubber insulation becomes brittle with age
Easily damaged by rodents and renovations
Illegal in most U.S. counties due to safety hazards
Modern electrical panels are better suited than fuse boxes to safely deliver power to homes and businesses. However, a professional may still need to service and update them in certain situations.
Consult Ryan Gath Electric if you notice the following:
Sparks when you plug things into your outlets
